If I contemplate myself as part of the Universe: what am I?

Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.

Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.

I know of no more sacred duty than to rear and educate a child.

All my life I have regarded myself as one of Mozart's greatest admirers, and I will remain one until my last breath.

In the country It seems as if every tree Said to me 'Holy! Holy!' Who can ever express The ecstasy of the woods! Almighty One, In the woods I am blessed. Happy every one in the woods. Every tree speaks through Thee. O God! What glory in the woodland.

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
